Spring Keeps Coming

 Another, sign of Spring, after 6" of snow this week. Our first Eastern Blue bird of the year was checking out the area, I just it must be, first come first server for the best nest locations. This Red Belly was looking of bugs on the move. The Great Horned Owl, gave me the look, that only a mother can give, so it must have been the female. And we have Sapcicles, hanging from the trees.

SPRING!!!

Just when I thought, I would never seen any signs of Spring, up came the Snowdrops last night. The end of Winter is near!

One Slightly Used Nest

Not to far from our home, is a large nest high in the trees. The nest was build by the a pair of hawks a couple of years ago. But, ever since it was built, the Great Horned Owl family, used the nest for their home. The owls will use it from February - May, then the hawks come back to use it in May. The next time, you are out. Take a look at some of the larger nest in trees and you might get the look.

Last March 2010 and Eagle Cam

It is hard to believe, that last year at this time, the snow was gone, a butterfly was out, and flowers had started to come out. We have at least, a foot of snow to melt, before we see even bare ground. But, there is hope and that what we live for this year.

Practice Makes Perfect

It is nice that fair season is four months away. One, it means that Spring is getting closer and two, Kim is trying new breads. The one this weekend, is a beer wheat bread. The house smells so good, it is one of those breads, that is a meal in itself.
